CORBY'S T New York, Sept. 17 CUR) Barring a baseball miracle, the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs were "In" today as 1945 major league champions. Although baseball Is a sport where "anything can happen," it would take sim ultaneous "once-in-a-lifetime" comebacks by the Washington Senators and St. Louis Cardinals to overtake the current leaders. The Tigers were In front in the American league by two and a half games and the Cubs held a four-game margin in the Na tional, but Detroit, despite of the narrower margin, has the more secure position at the moment. Senators Muff Chance The clock apparently struck midnight for Washington in the ninth inning of the second game yesterday when they had a chance for a double win. The Nats had beaten Detroit's ace, Hal Newhouser, 3 to 2, coming from behind after the Tigers made two unearned first inning runs. But Detroit took the sec ond, 5 to 4, when Paul (Dizzy) Trout came in to quench a two run rally In that fatal ninth. Washington had made it 5-2 in the eighth to deprive Al Benton of a shutout and in the ninth got two more on singles by Buddy Lewis and Joey Kuhel, an infield out and an error. When Gil Tor res singled to put men on first and third, Trout came in and ended the game by disposing of dangerous Mike Kreevich on an infield out. Benton was the vic tor although Tommy Bridges and George Caster both worked be fore Trout stopped the fire. Cubs Take Two The Cubs won two from the tough Dodgers at Chicago, 3 to 2 and 4 to 2. It was their 18th double header victory of the sea son for a new major league mark. The lowly Phils, who have won nine games from the Cards, gained a split at St. Louis. They won, 4 to 3, when Manager Ben Chapman pinch-hit two runs in the ninth with a single, lost, 10 to 3, as the Red Birds made 15 hits, four each by Augie Ber gamo and Emil Verban. The Giants and Pirates, bat tling for fourth, split at Pitts burgh. Elwin Roe pitched a 3 to 2 win for the Bucs after which Jack Brewer got 13-hit support to win for the Giants, 9 to 2. Cincinnati missed a chance to take sixth from Boston by split ting with the Braves. Boston won the opener, 4 to 3, when Whitey Wittelmann singled with the bases full to climax a three-run ninth inning. Frank McCormick's double and Al Lakeman's single gave the Reds a 5 to 4, 11-inning victory. Chandler Wins Spud Chandler won his own game with a two-run single to give the Yanks a 5 to 4 edge over the Browns at New York after St. Louis won the first, 8 to 2. The White Sox won two at Boston, 5 to 3 and 6 to 1, by taking advantage of inept Red Sox fielding. I Philadelphia, 3 to 0, Steve Gro mek pitching a five-hitter for his 17th victory, the Athletics took the second game, 7 to 5.

We made quite a fuss about it. So did you. For it was demonstrably better than other gasolines on the market -so much better, in fact, that our sales went up by leaps and bounds and new dealers joined us by the hatful If we were to put out that same gasoline today, only 13 years later, it would lose us customers and dealers. For by modern standards it was of a quality a good deal lower than what you're accustomed to now, and you'd recognize the difference instantly. The fact that your sights have been raised so, in only 13 years, is due largely to one thing-competition. People were more than satisfied with our 1932 gaso line -in 1932. If no improvements had been introduced you'd be satisfied tvith it today. For you would know of nothing better to compare it with. But competition would not permit us to stand still. For each of us knew that if we could put out a product a little bit better than the rest of the industry we could get more business. Consequently, even the company that was in the lead kept constantly searching for im provements. Progress from year to year was gradual - as it always is. aYe But In 13 years that total progress was considerable. Now if the oil business had been a monopoly - private or governmental -it is doubtful if this would have happened. For there simply aren't the incentwes to better your prod uct when you already control all the trade. 6 SO as Ions as there's room for imnrnvemenr in an industry ,the only way to guarantee maximum progress is to have an economic system that guarantees maximum in centives. Our American system with its free competition pro vides these to a degree no other system has ever approached.
